Shure has announced new GLX-D digital wireless systems that combine the technology of LINKFREQ automatic frequency management with intelligent lithium-ion battery rechargeability, renowned microphones, and solid construction. (Check out video coverage of the new GLX-D and BLX below.)

Operating in the 2.4GHz frequency band, GLX-D analyzes the RF spectrum, determines the best available frequencies, and automatically deploys frequencies to the transmitter and receiver.

Additionally, in the presence of RF interference, the GLX-D receiver and transmitter will seamlessly move together to clean frequencies with no audio signal interruption.

GLX-D systems come in a wide offering of traditional bodypack and handheld configurations, including vocal, headset, and presenter systems, as well as a new pedal-mounted guitar option, the GLX-D, which offers an integrated tuner, easily integrates into any pedal board, and offers tank-like durability.

Each GLX-D transmitter is powered by a custom intelligent lithium-ion battery for up to 16 hours of continuous use at full charge.

The intelligent lithium-ion battery is good for up to 10,000 hours of use, or the equivalent of up to 2500 AA batteries, providing significant incremental cost savings over time. The battery can be quickly charged in 15 minutes for up to 1.5 hours of use, through a wide variety of power options, including USB connections.

Additionally, the standard GLXD4 receiver features a detailed LCD showcasing the battery life status by hours and minutes.

“GLX-D delivers stunning digital audio clarity with virtually no cost of ownership,” says Erik Vaveris, category director for wireless products at Shure. “When you buy GLX-D, you never have to buy batteries again. The intelligent rechargeable battery technology in GLX-D is the same used in Shure’s flagship Axient wireless. It has proven its reliability on the biggest broadcasts and tours in the world.”
